Anybody had trouble getting Audacity to launch after download? I am getting a system freeze with a spinning disc as though something is about to lauch but then end up waiting forever with no functionality for any app open on my macbook.
hope somebody can shed some light on this
cheers,
Dave
it was the .dmg download version 2.0.5.0
just last week from the Audacity site!
Can you tell us exactly how you installed Audacity? Did you drag the entire Audacity folder to your Applications folder?
Do you have to force quit Audacity? If so, do you get a crash report?

Hi Bill,
no crash report - disc image and app are in applications folder. I have to force quite OSX as everything freezes on launch after the prompt “nyqist” extensions missing … proceed?"

David
To install Audacity, drag the Audacity folder from the DMG into the Applications folder. Copy the whole folder, which includes the Nyquist files Audacity requires.
Do not put the DMG file into the Applications folder. Do not run Audacity from the DMG.

thanks Bill … I will try that and get back to you.
have a fab evening!
Hi Bill,
yes, that fixed it - thanks for the expert advice ! I copied the whole folder into the applications and it launched no problem.

David
